Senator Tuberville Blocks Military Promotions in Ongoing Abortion Fight with Pentagon.

Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama blocked 184 military promotions in protest against the Pentagon's new abortion policy, which he claims is a violation of federal law. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren moved a request to allow the promotions, but Tuberville blocked the action. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Warren say the promotions are critical to military readiness, and Tuberville is blocking pay raises and preventing key leaders from taking their posts. Tuberville's actions have been criticized for jeopardizing America's national security.
